Chapter 955 The Boston of Daming
The indigenous female warriors of the Women's Kingdom were just an episode on the journey of "Qi Ming Star" to erect the monument. When they successfully erected the boundary monument of the Ming Dynasty at the mouth of the Amazon River, and even had a brief and unenthusiastic but rather "strengthful" contact with the Women's Kingdom.
After determining the legal basis of the Ming Dynasty's rule over the Amazon area, they went north again.
From the Amazon north, it was the French colony, that is, the French Quiana. After entering the Caribbean River, it was the first area that the Spanish arrived. Central and South America were the Spanish world. They had already established mature colonial rule here. In other words, they did not leave any opportunity to set up a monument to demarcate the "Qi Ming Star".
OK, continue north.
In the north, there was also a colony of the Ming Dynasty, New England colony. In the 14th year of the Gansheng period, out of gratitude for the Celestial mission to help him restore his revival, King Charles II of England came to join the country, and England became a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, just becoming a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty was not enough. Not only was it not enough to express Charles II's gratitude to the Celestial Empire, but it was certainly unable to meet the land requirements of the Ming Dynasty. When signing the "Villa Treaty", Charles II found a solution: ceding the North American colonies to the Ming Dynasty!
For Charles II, even England was obtained unexpectedly and was all external. However, it was the property of our ancestors and should not be given to others casually; North America is different. Anyway, they are all picked up for nothing, and they are not given away for nothing.
Measuring England's material resources and the joy of the Celestial Empire.
This is an honor to go to the country!
As a result, New England, a colony of North America in North America, became another North American colony of the Ming Dynasty. Before the news of the ceasing reached North America, with the restoration of Charles II, the former governments of the colonies in North America were restored. In Virginia, the deposed William Berkeley became the governor again. The Puritans in New England were once very worried that they would be retaliated against. They were all supporters of Cromwell, but their fears did not become a reality because of a treaty.
In 1660, New England welcomed officials from the Ming Dynasty.
In order to take care of the emotions of tens of thousands of English people in New England, Ming officials did not even rename the colony.
The colonies remained the "New England Colony", Virginia, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Plymouth, all of whom were chartered by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to maintain the form of autonomy.
From the fifteenth year of Gansheng to the twenty-one of Gansheng, the Ming Dynasty immigrated to the New England colony in only more than 3,000 people. Why is the immigration speed so slow?
To put it bluntly, it is because it is too far from the Ming Dynasty. The colonial cause on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean is just beginning, and the colonial activities on the east coast are just now?
Let’s establish rule first!
These three thousand immigrants were all military households in garrisons. In the past five years, they have established several wards in New England.
The existence of these military households is undoubtedly a security guarantee for New England and is also the basis for the Ming Dynasty's rule in New England.
Boston, in the capital of the New Gran colony.
In June of the 21st year of Gansheng, when the "Qi Mingxing" schooner quickly sailed into the port, the merchant ship with the "Giant Tree Flag", that is, the Yuzhang County Flag, had not yet entered the port, the soldiers on the fortress near the port shouted excitedly.
"It's a merchant ship from the Ming Dynasty! Coming from Yuzhang County!"
In an instant, the entire basin was immediately boiling. Not only did the officers and soldiers far away from the Ming Dynasty stand on the fort and look at the "Qingxing Star", but even their wives and children stand on the coast, looking at the sailboat coming from afar.
Amid the deafening salute, the "Qing Star" sailed into the port, and its arrival also attracted the attention of Boston Englishmen.
"It's the Chinese on the West Coast, they came from the West Coast!"
After learning the news, John Winthrop, the son of John Winthrop, former governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colonial, immediately rode to the port.
The author of New York City, former Governor of Connecticut and current Connecticut civil servant, knew very well what the arrival of Chinese colonial merchant ships on the West Coast meant for New England.
It means that the two colonies are directly connected for the first time.
As an official, he should go to the port to welcome the arrival of these guests. Among the officials appointed by the Ming Dynasty, John Winthrop Jr. is a famous "pro-China faction". In fact, his pro-China is completely forced by reality, just like the colony's surrender to the Ming Dynasty is also forced by reality.
The Ming Dynasty is very powerful!
"Father, are you going to please those Chinese again?"
When John Winthrop Jr. rushed towards the port, his son John Winthrop III said sarcastically. Like many immigrants in New England, he was a supporter of Cromwell. He even went to England to join Oliver Cromwell's army and became a prisoner after his defeat in London.
Although the Ming Dynasty's heavy artillery and machine guns always woke him up from his nightmare, he did not change his hostility to the Ming Dynasty. It seemed that the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Republic of England and his dreams.
"John, never show your hostility in front of the Chinese. They may be tolerant, but anyone will regret being an enemy of them!"
After leaving this sentence, John Winthrop, the youngest, rode his horse to the port. When he arrived at the port, the port was already crowded with people, and many of them were Celestial soldiers in red uniforms. They came to the port with their wives, children, and children, and like a New Year, they seemed particularly excited.
When they saw that there were often three or four women around them, even the "pro-China" John Winthrop could not help but mutter to himself in his heart.
"May God forgive these pagans."
In New England, many people's resistance to the Ming Dynasty was often due to religious reasons and certain habits, such as the system of wives and concubines that made countless men express envy and hostility. When the Ming soldiers first arrived in New England, they had only one wife. This was normal, but soon, the Ming merchant ships brought women from Morocco and other places, European women snatched by Moorish pirates. They were not only the servants of the soldiers, but also their concubines, giving birth to children for the soldiers.
This habit may make men envious, but many devout believers cannot accept it. Someone even protested to the Governor, but the Governor said, "You are so ridiculous. My Emperor of Ming Dynasty is so kind that I have never interfered in your life and beliefs. You are ungrateful, but you are ignorant of my Ming customs. What a truth? If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Although he was criticized, it really made them uncomfortable for the Puritans. John Winthrop, the younger brother, was not only a devout Puritan, but his father John Winthrop was also a devout believer. As one of the founders of the Boston Colonial, he once published a entitled "A Model of Christian Charity", believing that there was a special contract between Boston and God.
"We will be a mountain city, and the eyes of the people of the world are watching us; therefore, if we fail our God in the process of achieving this cause, and God no longer helps us as we do today, then we will eventually leave only one story for people and become a laughing stock for the whole world."
Perhaps, in another world, this so-called "example of Christian charity" preaching word is the "most famous sermon" in the American people, but it is certain that Boston has certainly become the "laughing stock" in his mouth here, and the God in their mouth has been replaced by the emperor of the Celestial Empire.
God did not rule this land, the Ming Dynasty ruled here!
Whether these Englishmen want to do so or not, they must face this reality. This is not God's land, nor is it a "city of mountains", but the land of the Ming Dynasty!
When the ship entered the port, the Ming soldiers on the dock were already shouting loudly.
"Do you have any Nanzhili on your ship?"
"Does there any hometown from Shandong..."
